	Irish Traveller
		Irish Travellers (also called Irish Gypsies or Irish Tinkers) are itinerant people of Irish origin living in Great Britain, Ireland and the United States.
		Their pursuit of a nomadic lifestyle in these urbanized countries has generated much friction with the settled population, many of whom have characterised them as thieves or accused them of causing problems due to large amount of rubbish left behind at sites they have stayed at temporarily.
		The Shelta language is the traditional language of the Irish Travellers, adapted as a jargon from the Irish language.

		There are also an estimated 15,000 Irish Travellers in England, Scotland and Wales and 7,000 in the U.S.A. The population structure of the Traveller community resembles that of a third world country, with large numbers of children and very few in the older age group.
		The Irish Traveller Community held a large public rally at Ballinasloe fair in 1963 at which a committee was elected and plans made to organise throughout the country.
		The Austrian Gypsy population was almost wiped out by this practise with Gypsy parents spending years vainly trying to find their children whose names and identies had been changed.

		Certainly, there were news stories in the Irish papers regularly of stabbings at wakes and funerals, and the travellers who were on a plane to America and defecated on their seat due to a perceived slight by a flight attendant didn't really help matters.
		Some Irish travellers are descendendants of poor tenants evicted from their farms in the 19th century and who never found roots anywhere else, which has led to them and their descendants wandering the country ever since.
		They claim they are victims of and outcasts of Irish society and this is true, however this can be attributed in part to their unsanitary living conditions (they make a total mess of land they settle on, leaving litter, and scrap) and their inter family wars.

		Irish Travelers: A peripatetic group ethnically Irish but does not identify itself as "Gypsy." Sometimes called "Irish Gypsies," they are widely scattered, but are somewhat concentrated in S. Carolina, Georgia, Texas – Dr. Salo estimates their numbers at 10,000.
		Additional Gypsy ethnic groups, mostly Roma from Eastern Europe, have immigrated to North America after 1970, due to the increased unrest and renewed persecutions after the collapse of Communism–numbers are increasing in spite of reports of close scrutiny and harsh treatment by some immigration authorities.
		The Gypsy Lore Society, founded in Great Britain in 1888, promotes the study of Gypsy, Traveler, and analogous peripatetic cultures worldwide; disseminates accurate information aimed at increasing understanding of these cultures in their diverse forms; and establishes closer contacts among scholars studying any aspects of these cultures.

		The Lurcher was bred in Ireland and Great Britain by the Irish gypsies and tinkers in the 1600s.
		Gypsies traditionally sneered at any Lurcher that was not predominantly Greyhound, since these "lesser" Lurchers were not as good at hunting and could not stand a full day's work of the hunt.
		The stringent training methods of the Gypsies are looked down upon in some Lurch circles, since the pups began working at six months old.

		On the one hand there is the romanticised image of the Gypsy as a primitive rural character often depicted with a horse and painted wagon; on the other hand there is the more sinister, 'pariah syndrome', image of the 'dirty, social parasite' who personifies the decadence of modern society.
		In fact, the lifestyle of most Gypsies is very different from that of the newer travelling groups and the popular conceptions fail to appreciate the importance the community attaches to customs and traditions, many of which have been inherited from the original Gypsy settlers.

		Irish Literary Revival dramatist John Millington Synge’s adolescent encounter with Darwinism in the 1880s induced a consciousness of a universe ruled by randomness and existential hopelessness.
		In his prose and plays, Synge endeavors to inscribe islanders and rural “tinkers” (“Irish Gypsies”) as dwellers in pre-lapsarian cultural time, and simultaneously constructs them as operators in a space uncontaminated by Darwinism.
		Due to the interconnection of the loss of religious belief with a Fall into a sense of immorality, that which is constructed as being without “sin” and degeneracy (in the broadest sense) is also, in the Syngean imagination, pre-Darwinian.
